Cleaned the cage and integrated the newbies into the group this morning. All are still intact! The babies did complain vociferously so I went away. Kids do so much better when the parents are not around.

When I went out later, peeking, they were all trying to get into the same hammock. "Not room for all of us! Someone has to leave!" Someone climbed over to the other one but came back. "But I really want to be with you guys!" I went out much later - in the middle of nap time and five were in one hammock and two were stretched out in the other. They do like togetherness.

The cleaning took a couple hours. They are not happy with the mats as there is no place to dig - the water in their mini-pool stays cleaner. Best of all, they are using the litter box! BUT I will need TONS of kitty litter! I may get the energy to vacuum and clean the K floor tonight. Definitely in the morning - before feeding time.

Not much else done, other than computer stuff - emails and FB and Skype from S-in-L - and visit with a neighbour. A dear old friend found me Monday night and we had a quick chat. I need time to peruse his wonderful web sites - Ontario Wildflowers, Wilderness Survival and more! Wonderfully done and a real treat to visit.

Ate well today. The rain has ended and the heat is returning. I have not completed any new pots and will be at the farmers' market on Saturday. Next time... Put up posters for Apple Hollow Music Fest yesterday. Will do more tomorrow.
